Jon & Kate Plus 8

We reported yesterday that Jon & Kate Gosselin were planning a big announcement on their upcoming Monday episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8. Well RadarOnline is now confirming the big announcement is that they are getting a divorce.

Radar says that Kate recently met with a divorce lawyer, and Jon will file divorce papers next week.

Another source reveals that the couple had previously agreed to separate by July 15. But that timetable has now been pushed forward. According to the source, they had been talking divorce for quite some time and the decision was recently finalized to announce it.

This news will as non shocking to those who have been following this show for a while. Jon was caught cheating with 23 year old teacher, Deanna Hummel. While Kate was also rumored to be having an affair with her bodyguard, Steve Neild.

The two had continuosly spent time apart, including their recent 10 year anniversary. They were photographed together on Wednesday with their kids, for the first time in a while.

In a 30 second promo video on TLC, Jon and Kate Gosselin plan to make an announcement on the show that will air next week.

“Recently we’ve made some life-changing decisions,” Kate says in a voice over on a new TLC promo for a one-hour Jon & Kate Plus 8 episode to air Monday. “Decisions that will affect every member of our family…ones that we hope will bring each of us some peace.”

Phrases like “A relationship at a crossroads” and “Where do they go from here?” also flash across the screen during the promo.

Severalmagazines including Us Weekly have chronicled the couple’s collapsing marriage as Jon had an affair with 23-year-old DeannaHummel, and Kate may have had an “inseparable” relationship with her bodyguard, Steve Neild.

Their 10 year wedding anniversary was spent apart.

Kate and Jon need to get their life together and stop the show so they can focus on what’s best for the family. They have 8 kids to raise. What do you all think? Should they stay together for the kids? Should the show be cancelled?

Not certain as to whom Jon & Kate Gosselin might have pissed off at US Weekly, as the magazine continues to rag on them. The latest being the above new photo of Jon Gosselin with his alleged 23 year old girlfriend, Deanna Hummel.

According to US, the above photos were taken on March 28 at the Spring Gruv at The Canyons Ski Resort in Park City, Utah. Jon’s Utah visit was filmed for an episode of their show. The filming was to focus on how he helps handicapped kids (the vacations in Utah are among the freebies he receives from the show).

A witness who spotted Jon and Deanna claimed the two “were close and chatty” as they watched a pond skimming competition together. Deanna’s brother, Jason Hummel, confirmed last month that his sister did indeed have an affair with Jon.

Okay, so we now have some form of photographic “evidence” of this affair. Here’s to hoping we can now move on from this story.

Just a few months ago, Octomum seemed to be the most hated person in American after delivering 8 babies and being on government assistance. I am not exactly sure why Octuplet mum, Nadya Suleman, has decided to criticize Kate Gosselin in a new video posted on Radaronline.

“She needs to stop being so judgmental and stop pulling at straws for attention,” a visibly annoyed Suleman says after watching an interview Gosselin gave on The Dr. Phil Show about 4 months ago.

Suleman accuses Gosselin of being “desperate for attention” and “over-emotional. I am amazed that Suleman has the nerve to call Gosselin names when she has made worse decisions.

“Why are you so desperate to glob on to my life? For attention?” continues Suleman who is clearly bitter towards Kate Gosselin. Octomum recently signed and plans to shoot a reality show documenting life with her 14 kids- talk about desperate for attention.

Bringing you your daily dose of Jon and Kate (Are you as tired of hearing about these two as we are?)Well, the couple continues to spend time apart. Jon has been seen with different woman over the last few months but recently with two female companions during the Memorial Day weekend and a recent shopping spree at a New Jersey mall. The reality star says that both female companions are friends of both he and his wife.

“The two women with whom I’ve been photographed are family friends – Lauren Glassman andLauren’s daughter, Hailey,” he tells PEOPLE. “Lauren’s husband, Dr. Larry Glassman, performed Kate’s tummy tuck surgery, and since the surgery we’ve become friendly with the Glassmans.”

Jon and the Glassmans were photographed shopping at the Riverside Square Mall in New Jersey over the weekend, stopping in at Louis Vuitton, Cole Haan and Godiva stores, according to TMZ.com.

While Jon was photographed with his female companions, Kate was on a working vacation in North Carolina with her eight kids, body guards, a nanny and camera crews. Kate showed off her bikini body while on vacation, thanks to a free tummy tuck which is among the many perks of being the star of “Jon & Kate Plus 8”

The 2nd episode of the 5th season of Jon & Kate Plus Eight returns to TLC Monday at 8 p.m. ET.

In the never ending drama for the Jon & Kate Plus 8 family, comes a new report that Jon & Kate Gosselin are being investigated the Pennsylvania Department of Labor for possibly violating child labor laws by having their children on the show.

No we’re not kidding. The the Pennsylvania Department of Labor confirmed yesterday that an investigation is being done to determine if the hit TLC show is violating child labor laws after receiving a complaint against the show. So all it takes is one complaint to waste tax payers money on a ridiculous investigation such as this one?

Troy Thompson of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor says, “We’re not saying that they are not complying with child labor laws. We’re investigating a complaint. We’re not saying that there was or was not a violation, just that we’re conducting an investigation.”

The reality show – for which Jon and Kate earn $50,000-$75,000 an episode – features their eight children, including 8-year-old twins and sextuplets who just turned 5.

TLC has released a statement denying any wrong doing. This whole witch hunt on the couple has now gone a bit too far in my opinion. To say they are violating child labor laws seems to be a very big and rather unfair reach to me.

The stars of TLC’s Jon and Kate Plus 8, Jon and Kate Gosselin continue to spend time apart as a couple.

TMZ obtained the following photo on the bottom left showing Jon with 2 women, drinking a bottle of beer. This photo seems to be in poor taste as a lot of cheating allegations have been leveled against him lately.

Could it be that Jon simply doesn’t care anymore? There are lots of rumors that their marriage is all but over. The photo of Jon was taken on Monday, the same day the new season of their show premiered to 10 million veiwers.

Kate was also photographed with the kids sans Jon, getting off a ferry on Bald Head Island, NC, Wednesday morning.

Update – The women picture above with Jon are family friends according to him. “The two women with whom I’ve been photographed are family friends – Lauren Glassman andLauren’s daughter, Hailey,” he tells PEOPLE. “Lauren’s husband, Dr. Larry Glassman, performed Kate’s tummy tuck surgery, and since the surgery we’ve become friendly with the Glassmans.”

Jon & Kate Plus 8‘s new season premiered on TLC this week, making it the most watched reality show episode of all time on TLC. Almost 10 million viewers tuned in to watch the couple discuss their martial problems. Us Weekly had reported Jon had an affair with a 23-year-old teacher, and Kate is “inseparable” from her bodyguard.

The ratings were excellent in comparison to the season finale of Lost which attracted less viewers, at 9.2 million. The premiere doubled the Season 4 finale of Jon & Kate, which had 4.6 million viewers.

On Monday’s show, both Jon and Kate who have been married for nearly 10 years, admitted they weren’t sure about their future.

“I don’t know…parents of multiples have, like, triple the divorce rate, and I was thinking we were gonna beat that. I don’t know if I can say that anymore,” Kate said on camera.

It seems to me that the couple needs some sort of family counseling away from the spotlight, and time to work on their marriage.
